@jojo51069, But this wasn't a cowboy flick, it was a Black gangster drug wars getto movie, the strange thing was, it started with 2 cowboys who were checking an old map for an old cowboy/gunslingers stash, when they got there it was a built-up modern black getto.
The fun started when they aaccidently found loads of cash, but it was some craack dealerss sttaash & they were suddenly in a full blown siege for the rest of tthe film. the automatic weapon fiire was almost continuous, but is was a very "Believable" plot.

I cant remember any famous actors but it was made in the nineties i think.

@pachy, looks like I can visualize the movie you are talking about, but ' just can't remember the title too - fully ??? Was it Money Train ?, but you did not mention about any train there, and there was no continuous gunfire in that flick. How About the movie HEAT, with Kilmer, Pacino and de Niro ??? I'll just reply here ASAP, when I remember the title OK . . .

Don't have a favorite action movie, but have a movie that I mostly seen (9 times) is Matrix 1. I think it was the best of It's trilogy. 2 wasn't so good and 3 is horrible. I like Fast and Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Triple xXx too.

@elrond - The movies Matrix and Fast and the Furious were truly good ones - I've watched them in DVD numerous times . . . About movies with fast car fascinations - I guess one of the best ones ever shown in theaters was the movie - Cannonball Run ('80's) it was really a star-studded film, and with no computer-generated scenes- 'ALL REAL'. Predator is still my best choice as the Best Action Film ever made in movies !

Under Siege anyone?
Lethal Weapon (2, 3 or 4)?

or a classic.....Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)

@gelfen - the movies of Steven Seagal were nice too. Under Siege 1 & 2. For the die hard oriental people here, I think one of your choices is that of the legendary - Bruce Lee! I 've collected about 6 of his movies in DVD, some are quite expensive, 'cause it's already a collector's item.

alright, if we're going real (haha..."reel") classics...Enter the Dragon

i really liked Stargate, Robocop, The Mummy, Batman

i also thought The Transporter (with Jason Statham) was underrated.

Gladiator was one of my faves - at present too, very informative of our past, though it was outbest by Denzel Washington's - 'Training Day' at the Oscar's years back. I like the story so much, which reminds me of Panchito and Babalu (national artists) during their times. . .
